@snugglybun all #disvord clones suck, because the concept of #discord sucks.

• Want public group chat? #IRC!
• Want public Voicechat? #Mumble!
• Want public Videocht? #JitsiMeet!
• Need Videocalling & File Transfer? #WebCall!
• Need something that also works great asynchronous? #Zulip (and #RocketChat)!
• Need secure comms? #XMPP+#OMEMO or #PGP/MIME (i.e. #gajim, #monoclesChat or #Thunderbird & #deltaChat)
• …

And the best part:

• All these things require less resources and can be #SelfHosted!

@DanielLuecking Angesichts dessen dass @signalapp ein zentralisierter #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider - #Chat-Anbieter ist betrachte ich es als deren Versagen.

• Ist ja nicht wie #XMPP+#OMEMO oder #eMail, und selbst da sind #Domains vergleichsweisr gut um dinge abzuschätzen.
• Zumindest Keywords wie "#Support" könnte #Signal reservieren bzw. in deren "Nutzernamen"-Vergabe abhängig von #Verifikation machen.
  • Also so wie #Shitter bevor #Musk den Laden mit Vollgas enshittified hatte…

@iuvi this seems like a good way to do it at first glance.

• Granted I've not used #sshuttle myself, but I found a decently written #howto for #SSHtunneling.
• Also @nixCraft made a good post explaining #SSHtunnels and also some even more condensed writeup to get you started.
  • Obviously you need a #Server on the "outside" of the #IronFirewall of #Roskomnadzor's realm, but any #VPS with decent bandwith should work.

I'd still recommend to use @torproject / #TorBrowser through that #SSHtunnel for added #privacy.

• OFC for applications that need #UDP and/or don't like #Tor you'd still be able to use them regardless, but for #Messaging like #XMPP+#OMEMO (@monocles / #monoclesChat, @gajim), #IRC & #PGP/MIME (i.e. @delta & @thunderbird) tor just works.
  • I wished @tails_live / @tails / #Tails would've support for #SSHtunnels built-in for extra-hard cases when even private #Bridges ain't an option.

Still #Russia fighting against #VPN useage whilst also being reliant on #CyberCrime & #CyberWarfare from russian soil makes it basically impossible to ban #SSH.

• After all, this would also prevent their agents from communicating since #Gonets¹ and Gazprom Space Systems either don't have global coverage or are too slow to be used for any decent communication resembling realtime beyond narrowband communication.

@debacle

By the way, would you happen to know if the HTTP-based file/image/etc transfer is end-to-end encrypted like text is?

@mathieui

#XMPP #OMEMO #E2EE

@gnemmi

Congratulations, @profanity!

It's one of the few client (or the only one?) to speak #OTR, #OMEMO, and #OX!

Now, #Profanity, please give us message reactions!

Sure, that's an UI implementation nightmare on the console, but maybe there is prior art in e.g. #Poezio (#Jabber) or gomuks (Matrix)?

@CCC ich hoffe die gehen auf #XMPP+#OMEMO ( z.B. @monocles / #monoclesChat) & #PGP/MIME (z.B. @delta / #deltaChat) ein und wechseln nicht von einem #proprietär|em Silo unter #CloudAct in ein anderes!

• Nein, @signalapp / #Signal ist keine Alternative!!!

@euronews @europe-euronews IDC & IDGAF!

People learn to use @torproject / #Tor & #TorBridges as well as #XMPP+#OMEMO ffs!

• Or do they really delive they'd get anonymity and privacy under #Putin who's chilling with #NorthKorea?
